They are still maintained. Every new build changes the filename, but
perhaps that can be changed if desired. Or, maybe you can integrate
this RSS feed into a page on the website:
http://builds.meltytech.com/kdenlive/latest.rss
Those downloads go through Amazon CloudFront distributed load
balancer, so they can handle any traffic load little old kdenlive.org
can send its way. :-)
The Shotcut page shows that I have done some very basic testing of the
Ubuntu builds on other distros like Debian and openSUSE. I have not
tested them very extensively, and perhaps kdelibs versions may cause
more grief for Kdenlive. The Ubuntu build machines are due to be
upgraded to 12.04 bu the end of April.
With Shotcut I have discovered a couple of libs that are not very
likely to be found from one distro version to the next: SoX and GLEW
(only needed for new opengl module). So, in the build-shotcut script,
I am copying those libs to the app bundle. I can do the same for
build-kdenlive.

Hi,
I had several users blocked in their editing because the Libav / FFmpeg
version provided by their distro (usually Ubuntu) is not up to date or a fix
was committed recently.
The daily builds that can be found on meltytech is a nice way to let them try
the last version of all required libraries to check if they can finally edit
their files.
What is the current status of these daily builds? Can we advertise and give
instructions on the Kdenlive web site?
Thanks & regards
